Bought 03/04 with 23 miles on it, I drive 70 miles a day in HEAVY traffic, 16k miles on it now, and only one squeak, sounds like a rear strut.

On my last car (a 99 Grand Am) i was convinced that something was wrong with the odometer.. because it felt like it was unjustly increasing at a very fast rate..but, alas... it's just me.i'm coming to terms with it... (and know that leasing is NEVER an option for me)BR

High Mileage Vibes, anyone beat me?

Post by gapvibegt »

I've had my Vibe GT since Feb. 2003 and I just turned 96,000 miles.. No.. that's not a typo! I use it for work, and I drive ALOT. I change the oil and air filter regularly, but haven't done anything else to the car. It runs GREAT! Can anyone beat that mileage?

Mine has 130,XXX km on it. I used to be close to Savoy, but then I got a work-from-home job. Now my commute is a short stroll across the hallway.Oops ... I meant to put this in the other thread. My bad.

Highest mileage?

Post by Zeromus-X »

Haven't seen one of these in the last 4-5 pages or so, so I figured I'd start a new one. I just hit 80,000 miles on my '03 today. Who's beating me?

Almost 63,000... I've been putting on a lot lately... I changed my oil on Thanksgiving, and a week later, I already have close to 1,000 miles on it.

Got my oil changed yesterday and odometer read 33,484. I really need to start staying home more so I don't pile on the mileage! My Vibe's about a little over a year old and it's already got that many miles.

Quote, originally posted by Zeromus-X »What's the current year and mileage on your Vibe?I'm almost to 96K miles. I was hoping to make it to 100K before I have to change the brake pads, but they are starting to squeal a little bit, like when starting to move when cold. Have the pads, so will probably hit them this weekend. Bought my Vibe new 12/30/2002 edit 12/4 - Looks like I didn't really need to change the brake pads yet, but I did anyway.

I'll need to replace them again soon, as I got pretty cheap crap tires when I did it, because I was pretty much broke. I've been planning on getting the whole thing tuned up and checked out ever since I hit 75,000... but I've got no money and no time to do it myself.Gimme a few more weeks, I'll see if I can pull ahead. It's nice to know someone's beating me by quite a bit though... 90k+ gives me more hope that I won't run into many other issues!

I actually just checked mine on the way to work this morning. I'm just over 50,100 miles on my 2003 that I bought in May 2002. Everything is still running great and the stock clutch is still going strong.

Just past 40,000km last week for an 03 Vibe bought June 03. I Drove 12000km in the first two months (I used to drive 60km one way to work in Ontario and then moved to Nova Scotia, where I now drive 12km to and from work each day) Plus I had a company car (2005 Subaru Legacy)for 6 months so the vibe was only a weekender. Alas the Subaru is gone and winter is coming again...time for the snow tires.

I have all you '03 Vibe owners beat for low mileage: 14,290 miles. My '97 Grand Prix GTP only has 32,543 miles.Us old, single geezers don't drive much and sure don't need two cars. Just couldn't bring myself to sell that great GTP, I guess.

Re: Re: (joholste)

Post by DavidPIL »

well, I guess I should have clarified that statement a bit. My first set were the OEM Dunlop SP9000. They were harsh riding and became very noisy after about 9000 miles. Winter was coming so I replaced them at about 11,000 with M+S ContiExtremeContact tires. Those were still decent @ 60,000 but decided to change them out for Toyo Proxes4 for the Winter as well. Figured fresh tread would be better than 4 or 5/32nds on the conti's... So, there are my 3 sets, on my 3rd now.
